2 DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

Dear Friends,

While we are still four months away from the wonderful sunshine, spirituality, friends, and fellowship of WUULF, I am already getting giddy each time I think about being back at Ghost Ranch with you all!

The theme for this year is “Letting Go in the Desert”. Our world can be serious and all consuming, and sometimes we need to be reminded that we can let it go and just be. Whether that is being present in community, spirituality, or just with yourself, WUULF this year will offer opportunities to laugh, play, and appreciate our beautiful community and world.

For our main program, we are bringing back one of our most popular workshops, Improv with Dee Masters! With a BFA in theatre and an incredible ability to draw people into the moment, Dee will lead us in dancing, sharing, talking and laughter and through it all help us to build community. We are so excited to have him back with us again!

The Rev. Christine Robinson will be joining us as our community minister this year. Formerly the Senior Minister of First Unitarian Church of Albuquerque, Christine now works with the Pacific Western Region as a Congregational Life Primary Contact for Large Congregations. She comes with rave reviews and we are looking forward to joining her each morning around the wisdom tree for in-gathering!

For those of you who have yet to experience WUULF, we gather every morning for spiritual centering with our camp minister and again in the afternoon for social hour where we share fellowship and refreshments. Throughout the day, you can choose to attend workshops hosted by incredible community members, hike the epic landscape of Ghost Ranch, or just kick back under the Wisdom Tree. We will play games, tell stories, tie dye, drum, dance and sing throughout the week.

WUULF is a family camp. We provide programming for school age kids while their parents participate in adult programming. Kids in the middle and high school programs start the week with a challenge course to build a sense of community. The kids program also includes swimming, crafts, and hiking. Our young adults have the option of joining the adult program or to do their own thing. If you sign up as a young adult, you’ll hear from the young adult group leaders to collaborate about program plans.

Registration is now open for WUULF 2018 and will remain open until May 1 or until camp fills. To register, please visit http://reg.wuulf.org to sign up! I am happy to report that registration fees will remain the same as last year. The room rates include all three meals per day, while campers can choose to purchase all their meals on the registration form or select specific meals directly from Ghost Ranch. We also have scholarship funds available for registration. Indoor accommodations and RV campsites fill quickly, so don’t delay if you are interested in one of those options. As always camping with a tent or a pop-up is an affordable option, and the campground has excellent amenities, such as a recently renovated bathhouse, laundry, and an ice machine.

Please ask to join the WUULF Facebook page. It’s a great way to connect with folks before and after camp. We will contact you with e-mail updates as camp gets closer. Be sure to check your packing list in the catalog. The list has been compiled through years of experience camping at Ghost Ranch. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. All of us on the board look forward to welcoming you into the WUULF community.

WUULF is first and foremost a friendly, intergenerational camp seeking to build a close- knit community in which we can live out our UU principles and purposes —a place where participants of all ages can spend time focusing on their own interests, as well as spend time together. For families who bring children to WUULF, we co-schedule children’s classes and adult activities three days a week (from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday) to provide a time for adults to pursue their own activities (see descriptions in this catalog). On the remaining days, you can “build your own adventure”-- take side trips, hike on the trails around WUULF, visit local museums, and the like. We have some suggestions for side trips from Ghost Ranch that can all be done in 4 hours or less. If you brought children with you to WUULF, this is a chance for you to spend time with them in this fabulous environment.

Youth Program Expectations

Kids and parents must attend the orientation Monday evening. All youth under 18 MUST be either in their designated program or under the supervision of their parent/guardian at all times. It is stressful and potentially dangerous when unsupervised children, especially those who are elementary school aged or younger, are present at WUULF activities without a responsible adult to guide them. At Ghost Ranch, we are surrounded by miles of wild areas. Bears, snakes and other wild animals are frequently spotted on ranch property. At night, near total darkness descends. And as adults, we are sometimes so consumed by the incredible setting and the wonderful company that we may let our guard down and assume the community that provides us with so much, will also provide unsolicited, spontaneous child care for our little ones. We will all be safer and happier if we try to avoid this scenario! Failure to comply with WUULF and Ghost Ranch guidelines can lead to unsafe situations and may result in expulsion from WUULF activities, or from Ghost Ranch itself.

Each child will need to bring a backpack, towel, swimsuit, sunscreen, water bottle, good walking shooes if hiking, and bug spray each program day.

Parents are expected to help with a youth program for one morning or afternoon per child, other adults are encouraged to volunteer. Parents are always welcome to join the children for all or part of a day's activities. Ghost Ranch will be full during the fourth week of June, with many other groups besides WUULF staying on the property. Please remember that our youth programs must remain separate from those of other groups. Only registered participants can attend WUULF child and youth programming.

Low Ropes Course will be offered to Pack and High school on Tuesday morning. This is a great way for the kids to get acquainted and connected. The course is supervised by experienced Ghost Ranch employees. Parents are free to help out, watch the fun, and snap some great photos. 5 CUBS (Grades entering K to 2nd) COYOTES (Grades entering 3rd to 5th) Required daily sign in and out for these age groups! The children enjoy a number of different activities, including hikes, storytelling, swimming, playing in the mud (always a favorite!), visiting museums at the ranch and doing arts and crafts. Children in these programs need to be signed in and out at the beginning of the program, for lunch, and at the end of the program. Specific procedures will be discussed at the Orientation on Monday evening.

BODE’S

A True General Store. Buy a can of peas or a rake. Great Mexican food, locals, interesting bulletin board, ice cream and gas! Bode’s started as Grants Mercantile in 1890 as a general store, post office, stage coach stop and jail when Abiquiu was the starting place of the Old Spanish Trail. The Grant Brothers were from New York and became successful merchants who at one time owned three general stores in Northern New Mexico. In the early 1900s, the Grants sold their stores to the Gonzales and Sargent families and moved to Santa Fe where they were involved in the process of making New Mexico a State. Martin Bode immigrated to the at the turn of the century to work for an uncle, in the town of Rodney, in the southern New Mexico . In 1919 Martin purchased the store and became an important member of the community.

The Bode family ran the store until 1994 when the current owners, Dennis and Constance Liddy, took over as keepers of a long and proud legacy as well as being one of the most popular bathroom stops between Espanola and Chama.

Directions Exit the ranch and take a left at the highway. Bodies is 13 miles from the ranch on highway 84.

SANTA ROSA DE LIMA

Santa Rosa de Lima was an early 18th-century Spanish settlement in the Rio Chama valley, near the present-day town of Abiquiu in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico. By the 1730s Spanish settlers were moving into the Chama River valley, and by 1744 at least 20 families were living in the present-day Abiquiú area, where they founded the Plaza de Santa Rosa de Lima. The church was built around 1744, and was in use until the 1930s. Repeated raids by Utes and Comanches caused the settlement to be abandoned in 1747. In 1750, the Spanish founded a new settlement at the present site of Abiquiú, about a mile from Santa Rosa de Lima. Today the site of Santa Rosa de Lima is a ghost town, with substantial adobe ruins of the church, and mounds where the settlers’ adobe houses stood. The site is private property, belonging to the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. Santa Rosa de Lima de Abiquiu was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, as listing #78001820.[1]

Directions From the ranch turn left on Highway 84. Go South for about 15 miles to Mile Marker 210 on Highway 84. 18 DAR AL ISLAM

Dar al Islam is a non-profit organization dedicated to cultivating greater understanding of Islam among Americans of all faiths in order to establish our commonalities and build stronger relationships. They have been providing non-Muslims and Muslims alike with an array of opportunities to learn more about Islam, based on the Foundational Texts, since 1979. They believe in the collaborative efforts that encourage greater compassion and empathy between all communities. Their unique campus in breath-taking Abiquiu, New Mexico supports these activities by providing a place for contemplation and spiritual renewal.

Directions Driving from the north you will come to NM 554 there is a well known Pizza restaurant, Mamacita Pizzeria, and a bar at the junction. Turning left onto 554 for about 0.6 miles then turn left onto Country Road 155 which is a small but paved track through the desert. Go three and a third miles (3.3 miles) along this path driving past the small houses of local residents on this back road until suddenly on your right there is a large wooden gateway with the words “Dar Al Islam” and nothing else on them. Through the gateway is a dirt track which you take for about 0.6 miles until there is a fork in the road and you want to take the left fork towards the Dar Al Islam Mosque and Education Center.

PLAZA BLANCA

“Plaza Blanca” was made famous by the paintings of O’Keeffe in 1929. She was enthralled by the light and shapes both natural and artificial in the NM desert. Ranchos Church, No. II, NM, 1929, Oil on canvas She also discovered amazing outcroppings of dark rock which she named “Black Place” as in her Black Mesa Landscape, New Mexico/Out Back of Marie’s II, 1930, oil on canvas. When she found Plaza Blanca near what was to become her home in Abiquiu, it was natural that by contrast it should be called The White Place. White Place, 1940, oil on canvas Bring water, sun screen, hat good walking shoes and walking stick if desired

Directions Follow the directions towards Dar Al Islam until you reach a fork in the road, take the right fork towards Plaza Blanca. Park here and hike the remaining quarter mile into the valley.

19 POSHUOUINGE RUINS

This is an un-excavated site….you can see the outline of the pueblo, but much of it is still underground for preservation. The hike is a steep climb at some points but overall it’s lower to moderately challenging. Round trip hike is about 2 miles or a little more. This is a beautiful hike and a brilliant site to see from the hilltop. There are pottery shards everywhere. They are breathtaking but PLEASE just take photos and memories of the shards. The principal ruins include a large pueblo with more than 700 ground-floor rooms surrounding two large plazas and a kiva. Poshuouinge means Village above the Muddy River.

Directions Turn left out of the ranch for 16 miles. The Forest Service parking lot is 2.4 miles east of Abiquiu near Family Dollar

Bring water, sunscreen, hat, good walking shoes and walking stick if desired.

MONASTERY OF CHRIST

At the Monastery of Christ in the Desert there lives a community of monks each of whom and as a community seek to be in union with God.

The Monastery of Christ in the Desert, Abiquiu, New Mexico was founded in 1964 by Fr Aelred Wall, OSB, accompanied by monks of Mount Saviour Monastery in New York state. In 1983 the Monastery of Christ in the Desert was received into the English Proince of the Subiaco Congregation as a Convetual Priory, and in 1996, it became an automonouse Abbey. From its beginning, the monastery has followed the Benedictine life according to the Rule of St Benedict with no external apostates,but it does maintain a guest-house for private retreats where men and woman can chase the Divine Office and Mass in the Abbey Church with the monks.

Directions Out of Ghost Ranch turn right for 2 miles on Route 84, right after mile marker 227, there is a sign pointing left that reads “Monastery.” You turn left at that point, heading west on U.S. Forest Service Road 151 for 15 miles. Forest service Road 151 is winding, steep and narrow at some points. It is mostly gravel but there are sections of dirt and clay surfaces that turn quite slippery when wet. 20 ABOUT GHOST RANCH (Lodging, Food, Adventures)

The Ghost Ranch Campus Ghost Ranch is a Presbyterian owned camp and conference center, located in Northern New Mexico west of Taos and Santa Fe. Once owned and operated by Arthur Pack (friend of Georgia O'Keeffe, the American artist), the ranch is framed by the majestic view of Chimney Rock, the Abiquiu Reservoir, and to the south a peak named Cerro Pedernal. Such splendid natural beauty has long been thought of as a spiritual place, and the perfect environment for us to create the intentional community of WUULF. With plenty of meeting rooms for workshops and 21,000 acres for hiking, an on-site library open 24 hours a day, a labyrinth which is available 24 hours a day for exploring, and afternoon swimming. There is a no smoking policy inside all buildings and pets are not allowed on campus. The elevation of the Ranch is about 6500' above sea level and the climate is normally very dry. Be sure to drink plenty of extra water to help your body acclimate to the higher elevation. Also be sure to wear sunscreen and insect repellent - the skin burns very easily in the high desert and some years are very buggy! While it is normally warm and dry at Ghost Ranch in June, you should bring some warm clothing. It has been quite chilly the first few days and nights of WUULF in previous years, while remaining hot and dry the entire camp in other years! Last year, we even had rain!

Accommodations Workshops, housing and the dining hall are all within walking distance of one another. Be aware that the dining hall is approximately a 10-minute walk from most of the housing, and approximately 15 minutes from the camping sites. Physically challenged individuals will be able to access the various activities and locations, however some may require effort. Notify a WUULF board member should you need extra help. Bicycles are welcome, but please remember to yield to walkers and wear a helmet. Do not use your car any more than necessary. If you find you must drive, the speed limit is 15 miles per hour.

Camping Camping will be limited to 75 people. Campsites are assigned on a first come, first served basis. Full hookup sites with water, sewer and electricity are extremely limited. Preference is given to guests with special needs. Hot showers, ice, coin operated drink and laundry facilities are available at the campground. If you'd like to share a campsite, it is your responsibility to find a person or family to share with. If you take this option, both people need to make a note around the lodging section indicating who they are camping with. Please include payment on only one registration. Ghost Ranch permits a maximum of 2 tents per campsite. Finally, if you are staying in the campground, consider bringing your bicycle (and helmet!) The campground is located a few hundred yards further from the Lower Pavilion and Dining hall than the indoor housing, and campers have found that having a bicycle increases their enjoyment of camp. If you’re planning on bringing your own food, please see the dining section on the next page.

Rooms The architecture of the Ranch is rustic, southwestern adobe. Most of our guests are housed in Corral Block, a hacienda style building, with family rooms, connected by an adjoining courtyard. Convenient to each room are dormitory style showers and restrooms. Please be mindful of the condition in which you leave the community restrooms for the next user. Rooms are equipped with linens and towels, but there are no phones, TVs, radios, or alarm clocks in the rooms themselves. Coin operated laundry facilities are available in the campground. All meals are included in the price of rooms. Only the first two family members in the same room pay full room and board fees, additional family members pay for meals only. This special rate applies only if all family members share one room, and is not available in adjoining rooms.

Dining Meals are served cafeteria-style in the Main Dining Hall. WUULF attendees are generally very pleased with the food provided by Ghost Ranch. Each meal includes a vegetarian option and unlimited fruit/salad bar. Meals are served at specific times, so don’t be late (7:30 am – 8:00 am, 12:00 pm – 12:45 pm, and 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm)! Campers may purchase meals for the week, which greatly simplifies your camping and scheduling challenges, while allowing you to spend more time socializing with the other WUULF (and Ghost Ranch) attendees. For those not choosing the full meal plan, individual meals can be purchased directly from Ghost Ranch at the front office. Breakfast $9.00, Lunch $11.00, Dinner $14.00, Children 12 and under are 1/2 price, and children under 4 are free.

Other Adventures Ghost Ranch and the surrounding areas are rich with opportunities for exploration and adventure. Check out the pages 18 -20 for popular destinations or visit the On-Site and Near By Activities sections on the WUULF website (wuulf.org) for an extensive offering of side trips and local experiences to take advantage of during your free time at WUULF or when traveling to or from Ghost Ranch. Ghost Ranch also has numerous on-site activities such as bodywork, horseback riding, waterfront, hiking, museums and more for your enjoyment. 21 DIRECTIONS TO THE RANCH

Driving The Ranch is located northwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico, some forty miles north of Espanola on US 84. Watch for the Ghost Ranch sign on the entrance gate between milepost 224 and 225. Follow the main road until it forks, then take a left. This road will pass the farm on the left. Stay to the right. Continuing on this road, you will encounter anther fork. It will be a triangle of grass with one big tree in it. Take the left fork and the Lower Pavilion (where you check in) will be on your left. Please study and plan your route thoroughly before you leave as you will be passing through remote areas with limited cell phone coverage. Internet based navigators (including google maps) will not give the best route information---so please consult a map as well! For more detailed directions, checkout the directions page on the WUULF website (wuulf.org/directions).

Air The nearest major airport is in Albuquerque, 125 miles south of the Ranch. There are several car rental agencies located in the airport. Ghost Ranch does not provide shuttle service, but has contracted with Twin Hearts Express shuttle service to provide transportation. Reservations must be made by calling Twin Hearts Express at (575) 751-1201. While making arrangements for the shuttle remember that WUULF runs from Monday through Sunday. Please remember that the board and staff at WUULF do not have the resources to arrange transportation to camp. If you need help, feel free to post a request on the WUULF Facebook, but we cannot make specific arrangements nor guarantee the availability of rides. If you are not part of Facebook, we will post a request for you if needed.

Arrival WUULF begins MONDAY, June 18th at 3pm and board and staff members will not be able to offer assistance at camp before that time. Plan to arrive at registration in the Lower Pavilion between 3 and 5 pm. Signs to the Lower Pavilion will start at the entrance to Ghost Ranch, follow the signs if this is your first visit! You may arrive earlier in the afternoon if you are tent camping and would like to select your campsite prior to 3:00 p.m. Late registration is available after dinner but please try to avoid this if possible as time and volunteers are limited. RV campers, please arrive as soon as possible during normal registration hours (between 3:00 and 5:00) and talk with the registrar to identify your assigned spot and resolve any issues that may arise. At registration, you will check in with the treasurer and registrar, learn about the details of any off-site activities you have selected, learn about additional workshop offerings and schedule changes, sign up to volunteer with youth programs or other camp activities, and review available carpools for any off site transportation needs. If you arrive on campus Monday before 3 pm—please enjoy a stroll around, or lounge under the Wisdom Tree until 3 pm when the Board will be set up and ready to handle registration for incoming guests. Please, do not plan to arrive before Monday, June 18th. Ghost Ranch will be operating at full capacity and accommodations before that date are very limited.
